DEIB & Mental Wellbeing in Veterinary Medicine
A Webinar Series
The Missing Link: Veterinary Wellbeing & Oppression
When discussing veterinary wellbeing, rarely do we address the role that oppression plays.
However, folks studying and working in veterinary medicine cannot separate overt and covert oppression from their professional lives as it can contribute to more nuanced experiences of burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue. This session will demonstrate the impacts of oppression on professional wellbeing, team dynamics, client/patient care, and the veterinary community while planting seeds for systemic change.
